….first one I’ve written fresh in years…

…(…hmmm….feels like I may “recycled” some old story lines…and I’m pretty sure Yoof & Arty never had a cat before…but who’s around to police that?!?…)
…dredged from my previous sketchbook (circa Oct’ 2019) and reflecting the nature of some behaviours observed during my time in a low wage retail environment (not the record shop…that was a no wage environment!)…
…(and because I was never a boy-scout but needed those badges)…
…(and, yes, there are more)…
…(a whole lot more)….
….I was approached to contribute to a contemporary comic…
…fuck…it’s been an awfully long time since I’ve drawn sequentially and wasn’t quite sure I still had that skill set…
…dug out an old idea from 5 years ago and gave it a test drive…
…then they started talking about checking drafts and I got a confidence wobble and backed away quite quickly…
…seems things have got a lot more regimented since I was publishing…
…but hey, I’ve this plotted in case someone is less edity and I get over my own lack of confidence!….
…and re-decorating…
…and gardening…
…and Trade-me…
…and remembering to keep up the personal hygiene…
…and wondering where Dee is with my car…
…and….
…I’m pretty sure I know Doctors with computers who surf….
…(another of the strips I did for a General Practice newsletter that wanted strip cartoon’s about Doc’s & comp’s…the surfboard was optional).
…twitch twitch….
…twitch twitch twitch.
…and 10 foot tall…
…from my 9 year old mind to you.
…oh, that’s right…7 years ago I was just arriving back from the UK with a sketch book full of story ideas that I thought I should commit to paper…
…when, suddenly, I was distracted by a whole bunch of other ideas that just had to be drawn first….
…and then….
…the original from 2009….

….and now for the rest of the story….
(in weekly instalments of course).
…the writing not the pictures….
….just the facts.
….gave me my old school books…that she’d been “saving”….
….good on ya’ Mum.
